in which Chloe is flummoxed

[grassangel]

I don’t get it. I really don’t get it.

TVNZ should know the popularity of Torchwood. The Acquisitions administrator KNEW what she was getting when she made the deal.

*is absolutely boggled*

Still, I am excited. Because it’s showing again and while I doubt anything could top my love for Meat THIS'LL BE GOOD.

Surprised to find not that many angry blogs were written about it. I only found a few on NZ news sites (one where TVNZ even promised they’d put up an article when Torchwood returned) and general ‘grrr’ at TVNZ and how we should all send them TURNIPS, possibly even rotten ones, to make them stop this nonsense.
I’d rather send them some jellyfish or something else that looks appropriately alien-like.

Or perhaps everyone who would’ve written an angry blog/called them up downloaded after being fed up after waiting a year for it. And now resolutely snob TV2.
I don’t blame them.

 

I also find the lack of the season two box set on the Whitcoulls website intriguing. Slightly fishy too.

Though the season two box set doesn’t quite have the extensive extras that season one did, for which I am sad.  Extras make DVDs awesome. However, it does mean the set is 2 discs smaller and about $30 cheaper.

Need to prod the father figure about that.

 

Oh! Am I glad I delayed the posting of this. (All of the above was written yesterday and the day before.)
This morning, I got a response to my angry letter, and although it says nothing about WHY Torchwood has been given little advertising material, it does say they hope to run immediately into season three.

Hi there
Torchwood
We made the decision to pause Torchwood after a 17 episode run, in order to fulfil the scheduling commitment to  Lost that we do every summer.  I realise this is disappointing for many fans and it wasn't a decision we took lightly.
Torchwood will definitely be back in the new year as part of our new season line-up on Wednesday nights.  It is a great show and at this stage we hope to be able to run immediately in to season 3 (depending on BBC transmission) and hopefully without any further interruptions.

Isn’t that awesome? You get points for trying TVNZ. You get points for trying.
